Our month started with a trip to an aquarium. Isabel has never been to an aquarium and has had a fear of sharks (thank you Little Mermaid) so I was a bit worried about how she would do. But I didn't need to worry.
We met our friends there. Thank you L for turning her head at the right moment. :-)
L got so close to this bird. The bird thought L had a little cup of the nectar they were being fed, but she didn't. Once it realized this it hopped on it's way but not before I got a picture that looks like L is about to grab the bird.
Shortly after I got this picture of the girls admiring the HUGE shark tank Isabel asked if she could take her shoes off and get in with them. UM... NO!!!!
Isabel and Winni loved playing together.
Isabel got to touch a bunch of stingray. She was so excited and so proud of herself.
Another first for Isabel but not for M & L... Chuck E Pizza place. It was a hit!
L didn't get the point of the games I tried to play with her but she thought she was doing a great job and that's all that matters.
Not afraid of the big mouse robot at all. L however would not stand for a picture.
There was a face painter there and the girls all got their faces painted. She did an amazing job. M had a cheetah face, that's her favorite animal. And it was amazing. Isabel loved her ballerina. I occasionally call her my "Bell-erina" so she thought that was pretty cool.
Too cool! Got the big girls these glasses and a top for L with the tickets we all won.
SNOW! It's been a exceptionally dry year here but we finally had our first good snow in the mountains. We just got our second one two nights ago. It's been really hard to try and do things like this with a school schedule. But we managed to sneak in a short trip with the little ones. Isabel's one request was to make a snowman.
The weather was great. Dave and I walked around with no jackets on. Perfect day in the snow.
We broke the sled...
Throwing snowballs at mommy.
Finally getting to make her snowman. She wanted to bring carrots and everything. It was a last minute trip though so I didn't have anything. Searched around and found some creative choices to make a face.
Those are acorn tops for the eyes and nose and a small piece of pine tree for the mouth. I wish we'd been able to make a bigger one but she was happy with this one. Next time we'll make a big snowman and bring all the supplies.
Just want to add I take plenty of pics of M they just all seem to be from the front. And I do not like blurring her face and cropping her out often. If she happens upon them on the computer when we look at pictures she would be crushed. But rest assured there are plenty. Including a great one a Chuck E with her face painted on a race car game in.
